Funky delicious. — 3 years ago
Nose is perfume. Light flowers, a hint of rose, with some greenery, apples in the background. Palate is nice. Very light with more flowers, green apple, a hint of lemon zest. It’s nice but too many other better ciders out currently. — 3 years ago
Dark roasted barley. Bourbon. Toffee. Char. Perfectly balanced beast. Might actually grow real hairs on your chest. My wife smelled it and backed away as if it were smoldering. At 19+ % it only tastes 12% and the bourbon barrel isn’t too much. It’s great stout. Collectible. Fun now, but really needs 5-7yr to calm down. — 3 years ago
Moderate carbonation, little to no head on pour, medium sized bubbles. Golden brown in color. Perfumed apple profile in aroma. 7.8% ABV. Almost dry, somewhat astringent, slightly bitter, fruity finish, tasty while not sweet. High alcohol and dryness work well together, good acidity but not all that malic in character. Not a session cider but well made. Label claims flavor profile of apple peel (yes), lime (undertone of it) and fresh straw (also yes). Creative but unidentified mix of dessert apple and rare and scavenged varieties. — 4 years ago
Cola brown with limited hairdo. Disembodied flying bubble-eye pops to galactic swirl and water Buffalo horns in a crescent then ghost trail. Gingerbread cupcake intro sports chunks of candied ginger and a ginseng twang surfing a graham cracker and date aspect. Nice bitter cinnamon bite to start the palate. Allspice and saffron bring their bitter sweets turning trick to treat and brown sugar mixes it up with spiced tea to bring it all home. Pumpkin is very prominent here, to appease the complainers, which is nice! Stop the bellyaching! .

Excellent cider. Tart, briny, easily drinkable. Pairs great with spicy food. — 3 years ago

Hard cider is popular in upstate NY, but it's often way too dry and bitter. This is one of the best I've tried so far - great balance of fresh fruit, acid and dryness. Sophisticated without sacrificing flavor. — 3 years ago
